Atlantic City Restaurant Week began yesterday, Sunday, March 4. Since I hadn’t had a chance yet to check out Harry’s Oyster Bar and Seafood at Bally’s, a recent addition from the Dougherty family (Dock’s Oyster House, the Knife and Fork) which opened last June, that was my selection for lunch.
Restaurant Week extends from Sunday through Saturday, March 4-10, and offers a three-course lunch for $15.12 and similar dinner for only $33.12 (many eateries may also extend the promotion beyond those dates.)
Harrah’s Resorts executive pastry chef, Deborah Pellegrino, has announced she will provide her own desserts for “A Taste of Atlantic City Restaurant Week.” The exclusive preview event takes place Tuesday, Feb. 28, from 6:30 to 8:30pm, at the Atlantic City Country Club.
Getting in touch with Anthony Amoroso isn’t the easiest thing to do. Which is understandable, considering the corporate executive chef of four Caesars Entertainment-based restaurants — Atlantic Grill, Bill’s Burger Bar, Sammy D’s and Dos Caminos — has been rather busy lately.
As we all try to get back in the rhythm of life post-Sandy, I decided that instead of waiting until Friday, I would ignore the wet snow being dumped by last night’s storm and head out to one of Somers Point restaurants participating in this week’s Somers Point Restaurant Week.
